Director Hao glanced at the table again. There was a teacup on the table; it was enamel and wouldn't break.

Director Hao grabbed a teacup and smashed it.

"30th Anniversary of the Mine's Establishment"

Xi Beizhan was quick-witted and sharp-eyed, and his mouth was even faster; he shouted out the moment the teacup flew out.

Mine Manager Hao was also a former soldier and quite skilled. Hearing Xi Beizhan's loud shout, he was so startled that he quickly leaned over and retrieved the teacup.

Director Hao hugged the teacup and touched it with heartache, "Luckily it wasn't actually smashed, otherwise the paint would have chipped off."

This is an honor, how can you just throw it around like that?

Xi Beizhan slowly returned to Mine Manager Hao's table. "Uncle Hao, why did you have to do this? It's just a radio ticket, is it really that big of a deal? I'm your own nephew, your own flesh and blood."

Mine Manager Hao rolled his eyes. "What nephew? My surname is Hao, and yours is Xi. We're not related by blood at all."

Xi Beizhan leaned against the wall, arms crossed, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "If that's how you put it, then I'll change my surname to Hao tomorrow. From tomorrow on, I'll be called Hao Beizhan."

"Pfft!"

When Mine Manager Hao and Xi Beizhan looked over, they saw Secretary Chang calmly wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.

"You guys talk, don't worry about me. Xiao Luo, you won't be able to have the green tea today. Just make do with this black tea, it's pretty good too."

"Da Hong Pao tea, Lao Hao's favorite. I'll have Bei Zhan get you some to try later."

Mine Manager Hao pointed at Secretary Chang and said, "Old Chang, you're really something. You took my things and gave them away, accepting the favor. Is this how you do things?"

Manager Hao then looked at Luo Yu, "Little Luo, don't listen to your Uncle Chang. Drinking too much black tea is bad for you. Girls should drink more flower tea. Perfect timing, I just got some yesterday, this jar is for you."

Director Hao took a small can of tea from the cabinet in his desk and placed it on the table, gesturing for Xi Beizhan to take it to Luo Yu.

"No need, Director Hao. Don't listen to Xi Beizhan's nonsense. I don't drink tea much. Even the best tea leaves are like a cow chewing on a peony; I can't taste anything. It's a waste of such good tea leaves."

Luo Yu stood up and quickly waved his hand, not daring to take it at all.

Xi Beizhan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took the tea canister into his hand.

"Thank you, Uncle Hao."

Director Hao glared at Xi Beizhan, then looked kindly at Luo Yu.

“Take it if I give it to you. You’ve seen it yourself. My relationship with Lao Chang and Bei Zhan is quite special. Let me put it this way, we’ve watched this child grow up. He’s our proper elder. You’ve married Bei Zhan, so you’re our junior. Giving our own child a little something is nothing.”

Luo Yu glanced nervously at Secretary Chang.

Secretary Chang smiled kindly at Luo Yu, "Old Hao is right. If it's given to you, just take it. Why would you refuse something given to you for free? How can this child be so foolish?"

"Northern War, didn't you tell Ronaldinho about our relationship?"

Xi Beizhan stuffed the tea canister into his pocket and shook his head. "No, I don't have time to talk about it. Besides, I've already brought the person over here, so what difference does it make whether I talk or not?"

Mine Manager Hao glared at Xi Beizhan with annoyance, "Look at the mess you've made of this, you're never serious, your brother is going to..."

Director Hao suddenly stopped talking, a look of heartache flashing across his face.

Secretary Chang paused, closed his eyes briefly, and then put the teacup down.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Director Hao and Secretary Chang fell silent, as if they were reminiscing about something. Before long, their eyes reddened, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Luo Yu glanced at Secretary Chang beside him, then at Mine Manager Hao, and remained silent.

Xi Beizhan had mentioned to Luo Yu that his brother had sacrificed his life. Judging from the expressions of the two leaders, they were clearly thinking of Xi Beizhan's brother, Xi Nanzheng.

"Bang."

The sound of the drawer closing startled Director Hao and Secretary Chang. The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xi Beizhan holding another ticket, grinning from ear to ear.

Mine Manager Hao was startled. "What are you holding in your hand?"

Xi Beizhan winked at Mine Manager Hao and smiled, "The watch ticket! Give this to me."

After saying that, the watch ticket went into Xi Beizhan's pocket.

Director Hao was furious and stood up to chase after Xi Beizhan.

"You brat, you only need one, why did you take them all? Are you a bandit or a robber? Give them back right now, I can't give you that one."

Xi Beizhan, tall and long-legged, circled the table, saying, "No, Brother Xing only has one watch voucher, which is for my wife. This one has to be given to me. I want to buy a pair of watches, and I want my wife to wear the exact same ones."

Mine Manager Hao's lips twitched. "If you're going to wear it, then wear it. Can't you do it yourself? What's the meaning of this? Give it to me right now."

"No, don't even think about it. Consider that radio ticket as a red envelope you gave. This one belongs to Uncle Chang. Go ask Uncle Chang for it."

Secretary Chang had already snapped out of his daze by now, happily sipping his tea and watching the show. But when he heard that he had something to do, he quickly looked over.

"Why were they arranging this for me?"

Xi Beizhan ignored his confrontation and said, "You're the one who gave it to me. So tell me, do you want to be my uncle or not? Once my eldest daughter is born, you'd better not hold her."

Secretary Chang wanted to roll his eyes.

It's as if I wanted to hug you.

However, it's more comfortable to hug a sweet and soft little girl than a stinky boy.

The thought of carrying a fair-skinned, delicate little girl through the mine, attracting countless envious and jealous glances along the way, made Secretary Chang chuckle.

"Alright, anyway, the child will have to call me grandpa after the baby is born. Okay, for the sake of my eldest granddaughter, I'll give you this gift."

"Old Hao, you give it to him. I'll give you another one later."

Director Hao slammed his fist on the table in anger, “Do I care about that watch ticket? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Let me tell you, no way. I’m the child’s grandfather.”

"Old Hao, that's not right of you. The child not only calls you grandpa, but I'm also a proper grandpa, okay!"

You can't steal my grandfather!

"Who's taking it from you? I'm the child's grandfather."

You brat, go change your surname tomorrow and call yourself Hao Beizhan.

I'll pay your dowry for your wedding.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Chang was displeased and stood up to face Mine Manager Hao directly.

"Old Hao, you can't decide what Bei Zhan's surname is. You think you can get an extra son and granddaughter for a few hundred coins? No way!"

"Bei Zhan, I'll write you a letter of introduction, and you'll change your surname to Chang and go there tomorrow, your name will be Chang Bei Zhan."

Luo Yu looked completely bewildered.

Why are these two old men arguing?

How did this happen?

Wait a minute, let me sort this out.

After trying to figure it out for a while, before Luo Yu could even understand, Xi Beizhan walked over to Luo Yu's side and pulled her up.

"You guys decide what my surname is. Whoever wins the argument will take my surname."

"Oh, by the way, could you please issue me a marriage introduction letter? I'm going to register tomorrow."
